Scientists at University of Medical Sciences, Department of Pharmacology publish research in apoptosis
Published in Proteomics Weekly, July 12th, 2010
Investigators publish new data in the report 'Effect of chronic lead exposure on pro-apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein expression in rat hippocampus in vivo.' "Despite reduction in environmental lead, chronic lead exposure still possess a public health hazard, particularly in children, with devastating effects on developing CNS. To investigate the mechanism of this neurotoxicity, young and adult rats were used to study whether exposure to 500 ppm concentrations of lead could induce apoptosis in hippocampus. 2-4 and 12-14-week-old rats received lead acetate in concentration of 500 ppm for 40 days," scientists in Iran report.
"Control animals received...
